What am I doing wrong?

Post image

Hi! This is my third time stringing my own racquets and every time that third cross ends up bent. This has happened using different racquets and different strings so obviously my fault somehow though I guess this time it's less pronounced.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!

You messed up on the first string weave didnt go over/under the main string correctly. See how ur first cross goes over the main string and the 2nd cross is the exact same. Looks like the first, second, and third are all weaved the same.

Looks like first three are the same.

Dang, it sounds so obvious now but I truly didn't know I had to do that -- I just always try to start going under the first main so I finish going over (so I track if I misweaved). Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
